what is a home remedy for an ingrown toenail?

Question: The cuticle around the nail has become infected...red and swollen looking.I'm already soaking in epson salts.

Answers:
The best Ingrown toenail cure I have found is at bedtime, put a slim wedge of lemon on the problem toenail,keeping it in place with a Band-Aid and covering it with a sock. Sleep that way, and by morning the lemon should have softened the nail enough to ease it away from the skin so you can trim it. Cut the nail straight across, not down at the sides, and not shorter then your toe.

(Repeat as needed)
